A second edition of one of the most significant books on the Buddhist tradition. Written by two well-known authorities, it is of incalculable value for its selection of texts taken from the Buddha's own statements (translated from Pali texts).

An additional essay, originally published in a collection entitled "Religion in the Twentieth Century" explains Buddhist doctrines in terms meaningful to Western scholars familiar with Christian terminology, while retaining a clarity that conveys the essence of Buddhism to the more casual reader.
